Question

find the length of BD in the following triangle​

Answer 1

Answer:

16 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

 Using Pythagoras theorem in ΔABC,

 ⇒ AB² = BC² + AC²

 ⇒ (17)² = BC² + (15)²

 ⇒ 289 = BC² + 225

 ⇒ 64 = BC²

 ⇒ 8 = BC

In the given figure,

 BC = CD     ;  ∴ CD = 8 cm

Moreover,

BD = BC + CD

     = 8cm + 8cm

     = 16 cm

∴ BD = 16 cm
